Geranium pour Monsieur-Further Thoughts

Geranium pour Monsieur has been out for a couple of months now and I was asked by an editor at Fragrantica to summarize my thoughts about it for their site. That review is at the following link,after an interview with Frederic Malle:

Thanks SMM - great tro have some more insight on this one. GPH arrives here next week at the one small FM counter tucked away in Dries van Noten boutique and there is enough serious heat left over the next couple of months for me to give it a shot in the right weather conditions from the sound of it! I applaud FM for the 'Publishing Titled Works' stance he has taken - good luck to him.

I''ve definitely come to realize that this is a great summer scent and while I liked it at first sniff I think you'll see I like it even more on second sniff and beyond

Thanks SMM for this and for all your wonderful reviews !!!! Thanks very very much !!!

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Re: Geranium pour Monsieur-Further Thoughts

Thank you all for your very kind words.
Don't worry guys you'll still have to put up with me here on a regular basis.
This is where it all begins for me.
You're just going to share me from time to time with Fragrantica, now.
Sort of like having dual-citizenship.

Re: Geranium pour Monsieur-Further Thoughts

I was flipping through a "favorite BN reviewer" thread yesterday and was surprised I didn't see SMM mentioned. He gets my vote.
As to GPM, I'm splitting a bottle with friends right now, as well as wearing it myself. I love it, although the scent differs from a handful of crushed leaves off the geraniums in my flower bed. Of course there are many varieties (not to mention additional ingredients in the EdT). For your reading pleasure, here's what is on the box:

GPM "delivers the long-lasting freshness that most men want. It is a sophisticated alternative to the all-too mundane fern-type smells that dominates (sic) men's perfumery.
Geranium from China, rhodinal, mint, aniseed, spices such as clove and cinnamon, sandalwood, and a large dose of white musks, are the main players of this new breed of men's perfume. The formula also contains warm, exotic notes like incense resinoid and styrax benzoin from Siam to add comfort and sophistication.
GPM is Dominique Ropion's answer to men seeking ultra-chic freshness."

Great review, Anakin.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, ...... I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost

Re: Geranium pour Monsieur-Further Thoughts

Thank You for a great Review!

This is, in my Opinion, one of the most original and best Scents ever done. And I think, it will also be a great Choice in the Winter. The Aspects of Geranium pM that give a cooling feeling in Summer, will cause a very special Atmosphere in Winter times, as if You were made out of ice.
